Dating to approximately the 1970s, it reflects the decorative vocabulary associated with Hollywood Regency and late twentieth-century eclectic interiors.

Its sculptural presence and combination of materials situate it within a period when utilitarian objects were conceived not only for use but also as ornamental accents within the home. The piece retains its original structure and character.


Design and craftsmanship

The stand is constructed in brass and metal, with a faceted body finished in a smoked tone. The polygonal form is articulated by a brass framework, culminating in a decorative handle and spherical finials.

The base is structured and stable, designed to support the vertical storage of umbrellas. Surface patina, minor wear and tonal variation are consistent with age and use, contributing to its authentic appearance.
